Grab your pumpkin spice latte, or something a little stronger, because this episode of The Lit Library is straight out of your nightmares (in the best way). Jaleesa, Diamond, Shawndra, and Fancy crack open Tananarive Due’s The Reformatory, a chilling, brilliant, and deeply human story that’ll make you think twice about creaky floorboards and Southern “reform” schools. 👻

We’re talking ghosts, generational trauma, and a Black boy who sees spirits that refuse to be silent. Between the scares and side-eyes, expect a few laughs, a little chaos, and maybe even a séance of shade as we decide which of us would actually survive a haunted Florida backroad.

So light a candle, keep your sage handy, and join us for a Halloween special that proves reading can be terrifyingly good.

🕯️ Because in The Lit Library, even the books have ghosts.
